Cardboard city

The City Government announced in 2005 that it will evict the population from the settlement into a new one, made of the temporary container houses in the area around the neighborhoods of Dr Ivan Ribar and Blokovi.

They claimed that the action was caused by desire of the city government to free the land for construction.

In July 2007,[3] city government again announced their wish to relocate an estimated 245 families with 1,500 people from the settlement in spring 2008, due to the planned reconstruction of the Gazela bridge.

[4] In May 2009, the decision was made that the Cardboard City should be evicted by the end of June (a total of 176 families).

Families residing in Belgrade would have the right to social assistance, with the only condition being that their children must attend school.
